Is Fox news unironically the best place to learn about your new favorite social dem?
And MAGAts are losing their mind on xitter
He’s the new Boogeyman, because he has a Muslim name. Much like with obama. And memhet oz whitewashed his name and skin
I have no idea how anyone can think that baby baskets for newborns is a bad thing.
I actually have no idea what that even means… Could you help me out with some context?
I’m from Scotland and here, every time a pregnant person is registered with the NHS (we have universal free healthcare, which is normal in Europe, so this is pretty much every pregnant person), they’re automatically enrolled for a baby box to be mailed to their home a couple of weeks before the baby’s due date.
The baby box includes a ton of stuff designed to help parents take care of a baby in their first few years, including the box itself doubling as a cot. Loads more details here, it’s been super well received since they introduced it 10 years ago ish: https://www.scotland.org/live-in-scotland/progressive-scotland/baby-box
In Finland, parents of newborns receive a cardboard box that doubles as a tiny sleeping space. It’s filled with essentials like diapers, a sleeping bag, small mattress, toiletries, etc.
It’s like your new player gets basic gear at Level 1, minus the bronze sword and 10gp.
10 GP probably isn’t a bad idea
Love the video game analogy lmfao It paints a funny picture
The right: Birth rates are declining!
The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access… Etc
“That should be the role of the church!” The church proceeds to not do what they said it should.
Hey man, after my local church finished paying off their pastors mortgage they used the last of the money to host a bake sale!
You people are ungrateful commies
It’s also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We’re not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.

It’s ok. They’ve trained their monkeys to hate objectively good things.
Remember when Fox News called workers “dogs” that need to be starved to make us obedient? Never forget, never forgive
Monkeys surpass magats in intellect
That’s it. That’s the campaign ad.
$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves
I love how “socialism” is a smear in a country that has “e pluribus unum” on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.
Ok, so these are the promises. Now actually… you know…
Take all the funding from police. Hire an army of nannies for day cares instead. You will save lives, produce more for society and have extra to give everyone $30 minimum wage
Gotta get elected first, ya know? Kinda hard without that first step.
Anyone taking bets yet on how long it will be before he gets “disappeared”?
Or gets stringed along by the state at the behest of the billionaires, much like they did with Luigi, and gave trump so much leeway in his trials
He won’t. But an insane amount of money is going to be poured on a smearing campaign and support of an independent candidate, because to ultra-wealthy dems donors, better a Republican than a socialist.
There will be a billionaire-funded recall campaign
Or constant 24/7 news propaganda against him
Isn’t that most of history? Liberals, “centrists”, et al would rather side with fascists than give an inch to labor.
I am pretty sure whoever really Luigied Brian Thompson will Luigi any conspirators.
But in all seriousness, he needs a major security detail at all times, and he needs to be pragmatic about public appearances.
Everyone knows hemesley and witty conspired against him. In reality UHC was actually be investigated for insider trading, and he would be a weak point that can bring them all down.
I bet it won’t happen, or at least not until 2030. A perpetual “this person won’t vanish” is really difficult to say with confidence.
USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That’s almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.
Was it in New York and was it recently?
canada, last decade
It may or may not compare, I guess. Hard to tell.
Edit: with inflation and location in mind

Hey Foxies, how would you like to have an easier life?
But how are you gonna pay for it!!!;)!!! Raising taxes? (Insert smug face thinking the speaker just played their Trump card)
/S
“No way. It’s only fair if everyone has as miserable of a life as I have!”
Imagine painting no cost childcare and $30 minimum wage as something bad. Ugh. Those poor rich people are gonna be slightly less rich!
I don’t think rich people will be slightly less rich.
Free child care is a no-brainer. More people working, more productivity, more taxes, et cetera.
Yeah but that’s in the future! They want their quarterly profits to looks good NOW.
Free child care might inspire adults to have more kids. Even more people working, more productivity, etc.
We are not doing common sense approaches to fertility. We are only restricting things and then acting surprised when it backfires. Kind of like Russia is doing. Odd.
It’s not fair! Poor people get all the breaks!
hypothetically anyway
TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.
Wasn’t the baby just delivered a few days ago, very premature? Wasn’t it also known that it had hydrocephaly? (both things not very compatible with life)
Using a braindead woman and her braindead premature fetus as political football against the wishes of her family.
That’s so evil it’s a fucking cartoon. Like twirl your moustache, give an evil laugh, and then steal a blind person’s cane while jaywalking.
And forced the family to pay for it all. Pure fucking evil.
Not sure about hydrocephalus, but it was delivered at the earliest point the hospital was willing to do. The chances of the baby surviving are low regardless of other complications like that.
I learned after, the mother was literally rotting on the table. This was only done because it was a black woman without the resources to fight back.
